11.1 Validating backup archives
To be certain that your archives are not damaged, you can check their integrity.
1. To invoke the Backup Archive Validation Wizard, select Validate Backup Archive in
the main window or in the Tools group or click Validate Backup Archive on the toolbar.
2. Click Next.
3. Select the archive to validate. If the archive is located in Acronis Secure Zone, select it to
choose the archive on the next step.
4. Click Next.
5. Clicking Proceed will launch the validation procedure. After the validation is complete,
you will see the results window. You can cancel checking by clicking Cancel.
To check data from an archive containing incremental backups, you must have all
incremental backup files and the initial full backup. If any successive backups are missing
from the archive, the validation is not possible.
To check data from a differential backup, you must have the initial full backup as well.
However, if you created several differential or both incremental and differential backups
based on the same full backup (and therefore, in the same folder), you will need ALL of
these successive backups to validate the archive.
11.2 Operation results notification
Sometimes a backup or restore procedure can last for 30 minutes or more. Acronis True
Image Enterprise Server can notify you when it is finished using the WinPopup service or via
e-mail. The program can also duplicate messages issued during the operation or send you
the full operation log after operation completion.
By default all notifications are disabled.
